Most robotic automation is complex and expensive, but Ally Robotic’s programming-free robots represent a step forward for affordable automation.

The year is 2022. Robotics company CEO Mitch Tolson is tasked with automating production in a popular fast food chain — and he invents a new type of robot to do it.

It’s not science fiction — Ally Robotics has created a first-of-its-kind scalable robot that bypasses the need for programming and learns by watching humans work.

MKTnamers are invited to invest in robotic technology (a $114 billion market) before it rolls out across agriculture, construction, and manufacturing industries — the investment deadline is Thurs., Sept. 29.*
